I am Effigy2000's failure to preview.posted by Effigy2000 at 9:32 PM on September 14, 2007

Ok, so I got 5 of these in my collection now including the original. Who wants to help me find more good ones :) Don't hate. My hope is that the original is the worst and every response/parody will be much better. That way I can say I only saw the original so I could truly appreciate the parodies.

And who knew that Michael Jackson had a song called "Leave me alone.."posted by chime at 9:37 PM on September 14, 2007

I'm already sick to death of this meme, but I appreciated fake Bush's sloppy philtrum vs Crocker's wet-but-unmussed eyes.posted by maryh at 9:50 PM on September 14, 2007

what's up with all the self-linking, chime?posted by dhammond at 9:52 PM on September 14, 2007

Sometimes I wish someone else made that damn site so I didn't feel so guilty mentioning it in public. Just feels weird saying [plug] every time I want to link to a channel I made. Sorry if that looks like I'm breaking Mefi etiquette. I had the Seth Green video playing in my channel coincidentally at the same time I hit refresh on Mefi. I found it via reddit.posted by chime at 9:59 PM on September 14, 2007

chime.tv is pretty cool, chime, but, yeah, just try to keep it a bit more moderate. It's kind of a weird line to walk, because it's a pretty cool site.posted by cortex at 10:26 PM on September 14, 2007

Methinks someone needs a chime.tv out.posted by Poolio at 11:09 PM on September 14, 2007

C'mon guys. Self-linking in FPP = BAD DOG. Self-linking in comments = no biggie.

Seconded.

Even Matt self-links in the comments. That's as close to a sanction as you're ever going to find.posted by Ynoxas at 11:12 PM on September 14, 2007

maryh, Poetically put. Agreeing with your point and thanks for the new vocab! "The philtrum (Greek philtron, from philein, "to love; to kiss"), also known as the infranasal depression, is the vertical groove in the upper lip, formed where the nasomedial and maxillary processes meet during embryonic development.

The philtrum allows humans to express a much larger range of lip motions than would otherwise be possible, which enhances vocal and non-verbal communication."

Oh dear, nickyskye, I was describing George Bush (well, an impersonator.) The definition of 'philtrum' I remember from my life drawing classes was simply "the snot groove". Seems a lot more appropriate in this context than the lovin' and the kissin' definition..... (must... gargle.... to remove Rove taste)posted by maryh at 11:34 PM on September 14, 2007

General Petraeus, hmmm...

Remind me again: Did he work on the Death Star or was he a rebel leader that had Death Star blueprints?posted by sourwookie at 11:47 PM on September 14, 2007

Morning sunshine. Well, unless one has the flu or blubbering madly in a crock of Chris impersonation of an impersonation of an impersonation (isn't the GW puppet an impersonation of his father doing a Howdy Doody impersonation anyway?), the philtrum wouldn't be snotty. It would otherwise be quite kissable, no? I'm saying that because I think your art teacher, in attempting the useful mnemonic of "snot groove", deprived you of the beauty of an ordinarily non-sloppy philtrum.posted by nickyskye at 7:12 AM on September 15, 2007

Philtrum shmiltrum. I'll take the whole damn thing, thank you very much. Bonus points: comes with a PUPPY!!!!!posted by miss lynnster at 7:27 AM on September 15, 2007

Seth Green is cashing in on this terrible meme too.

Someone please tell Seth Green it's time he took a seat.posted by digiFramph at 7:54 AM on September 15, 2007

I don't really want to get into a big thing in this thread. I think chime.tv is cool, I think chime is pretty dang cool too, and haven't mistaken posts for comments re: self-links. That said, his last nine comments across several threads have included five links back to the site—in light of that, counseling a bit of self-aware restraint is pretty much S.O.P. If it's something that needs debating, let's do it not here, though.posted by cortex at 12:45 PM on September 15, 2007

Leave chime ALONE! He is a HUMAN! All you people care about is self linking and favorites. chime is going through a hard time! He has his own site and he is trying to contribute here. Leave him ALONE! If you want a piece of chime, you deal with ME! He is a HUMAN!posted by Sailormom at 4:28 PM on September 15, 2007 [4 favorites]
